Maybe humans are not the best electricity generator, but slavery is far from obsolete. In fact, there are more slaves today than ever before in history although it's difficult to define exactly what a slave is (https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/41684/is-it-true...). Humans may not be so efficient but they sure are cheap, in some places as little as $90 (https://socialinnovation.blog.jbs.cam.ac.uk/2015/03/17/moder...). The sole reason slavery is not as widespread at least in the developed world is because of laws caused by some people having a conscious. When profit is in question unfortunately people will go very very far to minimize cost.

A lot of discussion surrounding the ram shortage seems to imply that it will recover, but AI companies slurping up ram for training hasn't gone down and probably won't ever. Is there any signs that the situation is improving or is this just the new normal?

None but them corporations sure do. And with a little cash in the right place I'm sure they can push recourse onto people of power. We really need to end political lobbying one of these days

Firstly the at least according to the article the car was not even part of her "presentation" of herself. She was rejected because she ticked a box online saying her car is too old.

Also even if she did show up in something you would consider a bad mode of transport not sure I understand how could that impact her ability to be a property manager in any way?

I think there’s a pretty big difference though. Linux is open while windows almost certainly will remain closed so even if corporates start bloating up Linux users can rely on the gpl to give them choice while windows users are stuck

Sorry i was referencing "Balloon grade H is the least pure at 97.5 percent." from the diving article

https://www.bocgases.ie/files/balloon_grade_helium_factsheet... says 95% helium and 1% oxygen while https://dan.org/alert-diver/article/helium-gas-purity-what-i... says 97.5% helium but very unlikely for it to be as low as 80%

What about a making it prerequisite? Demonstrate you have built the nuclear/solar/whatever capacity to cover your own energy before you're allowed to build a datacenter?

"Florida Man Arrested for Hanging on Traffic Light and Sh*tting on Cars Passing Underneath"?? (In picture library)

It seems the whole story is a hoax and his faced is photoshopped in but definitely interesting choice of things to put on your portfolio.

On the Komet too which makes me wonder if book quote use standards or their stringency were different back then/in other countries.

First off thank you for designing this. Both iOS and Android have been focused on streamlining their user experience in the past few years but unfortunately it seems that text editing is just as annoying as before.

In theory how would a "robust implementation" be designed to avoid two layers?
